A Fredericton man accused of taking a shot at another man in Geary this week is being held in custody pending a bail hearing.
Darrell Richard Barnes, 50, of Boyne Court, appeared in Fredericton provincial court by telephone from RCMP custody Thursday morning.
He was charged with discharging a firearm at Dustin Madden with intent to wound, maim or disfigure him, or to endanger his life.
The indictable RCMP charge alleges an incident in Geary on Tuesday.
Crown prosecutor Karen Lee objected to Barnes’ release, and Judge Cameron Gunn remanded him pending a bail hearing, which he scheduled for Tuesday.
